I become a god in another world

Chapter 195 Po Meng is weird
Chapter 195

After several people finished drinking the soup, the carriage coming to pick them up appeared at one end of the road.

Today, Fan Bisheng personally drove to pick him up.

Zhao Fusheng hid last night's itinerary from other people, except him. He was so worried all night that he didn't dare to sleep. Before dawn, someone prepared a carriage and headed to Confucius Temple.

Although Kuai Manzhou was accompanied in last night's operation, Zhao Fusheng himself was also the one who controlled the two ghosts. Logically speaking, this operation should have a high chance of success——

But when Fan Bishi's carriage arrived in front of Po Meng's stall, he saw with his own eyes the familiar figure sitting in front of the table, and his heart that had been anxious all night finally returned to its original place.

"gone!"

As soon as Zhao Fusheng saw the carriage, he pulled Kuai Manzhou to his feet.

After saying goodbye to Liu Yizhen, the two got on the carriage, and then Fan Bisheng asked:
"My lord, last night——"

"Things are going quite well, I have already controlled the beggar."

Zhao Fusheng replied lightly.

Fan Bisheng actually knew that the trip was going well when he saw Zhao Fusheng, but he was still excited after hearing her answer.

In joy, he shook the reins vigorously.

For Wan'an County, Zhao Fusheng is the hope here.

The safety of countless people was tied to her, and everyone in the Demon Suppression Department, Magistrate Pang, and all the squires were waiting for her to save their lives.

Using more than one ghost means that her strength will be further enhanced.

The most important thing is that she has controlled three ghosts in total, and now she does not show signs of collapse.

This shows that she completely suppressed the evil ghost's backlash and became an extraordinary ghost controller.

"That's great!" Fan Bisheng whispered, and Zhao Fusheng asked smoothly:
"After we left last night, Magistrate Pang and others didn't ask any more questions, right?"

"No." Fan Bisheng responded:

"Yu Weide and others have discussed reopening the shops. Once the nearby shops are taken back and repaired, many shops will be opened one after another."

After he finished speaking, he secretly glanced back at Zhao Fusheng. He seemed to see that she was in a good mood. He thought that it might be the reason why the operation went smoothly last night. He changed his mind and plucked up the courage to ask:
"Your Excellency, it seems that you want to support Wan'an County?"

She asked people to recruit craftsmen and repair the Demon Suppressor. Fan Bisheng could understand these actions.

After successive demon-suppressing commanders took office, they seldom failed to carry out extensive construction work.

These people have short lifespans, and during their lifetimes, their lives can almost be described as extravagant and luxurious.

Even the previous Zhao Qiming came from a family of ghost controllers.

After Zhao Duan died that year, the imperial court rewarded his family heavily. Zhao Qiming was born in a wealthy family and had never been worried about gold and silver. However, before his death, he could not avoid the vulgarity and began to be extravagant and wasteful.

A few months before his accident, he seemed to have had a premonition and thought about transforming Wan'an County Zhenmo Si into his Zhao family's palace villa, but he died before the project started.

After Zhao Fusheng took office, he solved the ghost case. After the squires donated money, their first priority was to reform the Demon Suppression Division.

At first, Fan Bisheng thought this was a reasonable thing, but later he discovered that he might have misunderstood what Zhao Fusheng meant.

She had no plans to squander it.

It seems that repairing the Demon Suppressor is really just repairing in the literal sense, rather than enjoying luxury.

What Zhao Fusheng meant was that as long as the Demon Suppressor looked good on the outside, it would be fine. As for food, clothing and enjoyment, she had not made many whimsical requests for the time being.

And it would be inaccurate to say that she is not greedy for money.

After she took power, she first took over the shops along Baoding Road and planned to rent them out in exchange for money.

But now she is quite wealthy.

(The Baozhi County delegation helped her accumulate a lot of wealth. Zheng He asked her for help and has already sent gold and silver to her one after another.)
This money is enough for her to live a luxurious life, but she does not seem to be addicted to pleasure.

Although three meals a day were exquisite, they were still available in Wan'an County. Other than that, she didn't seem to have any intention of squandering it.

If the money is not used for her personal enjoyment, where is she going to spend it?
"Yes."

Fan Bisheng was thinking about something when Zhao Fusheng responded.

His expression changed and he whispered:

"Internal affairs should be the responsibility of Magistrate Pang."

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said:
"Nowadays, there is no distinction between people's livelihood and government affairs, and there is no distinction between the suppression of demons."

When the court abandoned this place, it had become her territory.

Her words revealed some information that made Fan Bisei think deeply.

"It is not easy for Wan'an County to revive." He said cautiously.

"Yes."

Zhao Fusheng nodded:
"A stubborn disease does not develop in a day or two, and if you want to cure it, it is not something that can be effective in a short time."

There was something in her words, and Fan Bi was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Fusheng suddenly became interested in talking about sex and turned to ask Kuai Manzhou:

"Manzhou, what kind of day did your mother fear most when she was alive?"

The child, who was sitting beside her blankly, heard her calling his name. His dark eyes turned stiffly, and then he slowly turned to look at her, with a look of confusion on his face.

After a while, Kuai Manzhou seemed to realize that she had mentioned his 'mother' and was asking her questions.

The little girl said nothing, and Fan Bisheng tentatively replied:

"Are you afraid that Kuai Wu will beat her? Kuai Peng did not behave properly?"

He personally recorded the ghost case in Kuai Liang Village, and can be said to be the person who knows the most about the case of Mrs. Zhuang Si, apart from Zhao Fusheng and several other people who experienced it.

At this time, as soon as he mentioned 'Kuai Wu' and 'Kuai Pengju', Kuai Manzhou's aura changed instantly.

At some point, a withered bud was held in her hand.

The branch buds soon began to regenerate, and several leaf buds spread out on the branches. Then black and red flower buds sprouted, and strangely beautiful ghost flowers bloomed.

Fan Bisheng was driving the car with his back to the two of them and was completely unaware of this.

Zhao Fusheng smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to fish it out, and took Kuai Manzhou into his arms.

The little girl was lying on her lap with her elbows, and the darkness in her eyes had faded. She was playing with the petals, as if she was deep in thought.

After a while, she looked up at Zhao Fusheng:
“My mother is most afraid of paying taxes.”

Although Kuai Wu troubled Lady Zhuang Si and Kuai Pengju also disgusted her, these troubles were normal in life and had long made her numb.

But tax season is the time of year when she is most flustered.

This meant she had to bend down and ask for help.

Whenever Uncle Kuai Liu sent silver at a critical moment, Mrs. Zhuang Si would always feel particularly uneasy and keep Kuai Liu's kindness in mind.

Her answer surprised Defan Bisei.

Zhao Fusheng looked down at her and touched her head:

"The imperial court imposes heavy taxes."

The tax system of the Han Dynasty not only had to support the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but the people below also had to support the official court of the Han Dynasty.

And because ghosts and troubles are rampant in this era, the existence of the Demon Suppressor is needed, and an additional burden is placed on the shoulders of the people - to support the Demon Suppressor.

"This is a typical-" Zhao Fusheng muttered quietly.

Fan Bisheng was driving and did not hear these words, but Kuai Manzhou, who was nestled in Zhao Fusheng's arms, heard them clearly.

She asked curiously:
"Fu Sheng, what is an antinomy?"

"Antinomy?" Fan Bisheng heard it clearly now and also asked. He found the word very strange and strange, and had no idea what it meant.

Zhao Fusheng raised his eyebrows and glanced at Kuai Manzhou:
"Want to know?"

The little girl nodded seriously:

"Ah."

Zhao Fusheng's eyes fell on her hand. She was holding a strange flower branch. The bright red flower was in full bloom, and she tore off most of the petals.

When she saw Zhao Fusheng's gaze, she obediently rubbed her hands. The flower branches were rubbed into black air under her small palms and dissipated invisible.

"If you put it simply, you will understand it better."

Zhao Fusheng saw that she was well-behaved and obedient, so he patted her head with admiration, and then said:

"Ghost disasters were prevalent in the Han Dynasty. When powerful ghosts appeared, countless people were killed or injured."

For the people of the Han Dynasty, the only way to stop ghost disasters was to use the power of ghosts to control ghosts - from a certain point of view, this in itself is an incredible thing.

Human pain and fear come from ghosts, but if you want to dispel this fear and harm, you have to use the power of ghosts.

This is what is called using ghosts to control ghosts.

The common people were staggering forward carrying the two behemoths of the imperial court and the Demon Suppressing Division. The common people relied on the protection of the Demon Suppressing Division to survive the ghost disaster;
But these two behemoths are the reason why people are miserable.

When the environment causes ghost disasters, it becomes a new disaster for people's livelihood.

The Li Gui, Zhen Mo Si, and the common people of the Han Dynasty formed a strange balance, while the emperor of the imperial court was equivalent to forming a restriction between the three.

This phenomenon is both deformed and weird, contradictory yet reasonable.

"..."

Fan Bisheng was just asking casually, but he didn't expect to hear such a statement. He was speechless and shocked in his heart.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said:
"Under such circumstances, Wan'an County is just the beginning of the imperial court's abandonment. If the root cause is not changed, there will be countless Wan'an counties in various parts of the Han Dynasty in the future."

"Doesn't that mean that the entire Han Dynasty is in danger?"

Fan Bisheng was stunned and asked subconsciously.

“When things go to extremes, they must be reversed.”

Zhao Fusheng responded:
“At that point, someone will always have a headache and clean up the mess.”

She didn't want to talk about this topic any more, but changed the subject:
"I see that there have been two ghost cases in the south and west of the city in the past six months. Many houses are empty."

Fan Bisheng's mood was still immersed in the laws she mentioned before. At this time, her heart was fluctuating and she still couldn't calm down.

When he heard her asking about things in the south and west of the city, he cheered up:

"Yes. There was a ghost case in the Begging Alley in the south of the city, and a lot of people died in the west of the city because the ghost mausoleum was out of control."

After the ghost case broke out, the surviving people were frightened out of their courage, and many packed up their belongings and fled to other cities.

"Half a year ago, some people in the city fled Wan'an County with wealthy families. Now there are many vacant houses in the city. Some of them were left after the wealthy businessmen and gentry left, and are now occupied by some common people."

Fan Bisheng replied:
"If you feel that there are few people there, why not ask Pang Zhixian to take out the household registration and drive these unruly people back to their original location."

"That's not necessary."

Zhao Fusheng shook his head:
"It is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. It is reasonable for them not to return to their original location at this time. Let them be."

She pondered for a moment:
"The money in my hand seems to be a lot, but if you want to revitalize Wan'an County, this is just a drop in the bucket, and I can't do it alone."

After the cousin from Pang Zhixian County arrives, all the property in her hands will be handed over to this person for management.

"Since Yu Weide and the others think that the area around Zhenmo Si is safe, we will start developing from Zhen Mo Si."

Once there are many people on Baoding Road, it will naturally attract some people to move nearby.

When the population is strong, business opportunities will arise.

With a good beginning of the cycle, everything is possible.

"Your Majesty is right, your Majesty is really wise. Wan'an County will definitely be prosperous in the future." Fan Bisheng praised.

"I don't know whether Ying is wise or not."

Zhao Fusheng looked slightly cold:
"No one can tell what the future of Wan'an County will be like."

She can't guarantee that such a plan will be successful, "I just do my best and listen to fate."

Her advantage lies in her strength.

Controlling ghosts behind her makes her the well-deserved leader of Wan'an County. No one dares to follow her orders, so that when orders are issued, they will be better implemented - this is also Zhao Fusheng's view on transforming Wan'an County. Reasons for slight confidence in the situation.

She shook her head and looked at the street scene around her.

The surroundings were very shabby, and on the way back to the carriage, no one could be seen alive for more than a quarter of an hour.

Several people said nothing.

Kuai Manzhou was silent for a moment after Zhao Fusheng's previous words, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, she quietly got up, as if she had made up her mind, and whispered in Zhao Fusheng's ear:
"Fusheng, there is blood in Po Meng's body."

Kuai Manzhou's words made Zhao Fusheng's eyes narrow.

"Blood energy?"

"Yeah." The little girl nodded, wrinkled her nose, and seemed to take a few breaths:

"She has a red glow and a strong blood energy."

"Meng Po has killed anyone?"

Zhao Fusheng guessed.

Kuai Manzhou shook his head:
"I don't know, but I think-"

The little girl tilted her head:

"I think that bloody light is very fierce, and I don't want to touch her."

She was still young and couldn't explain why.

But because of controlling ghosts, she sensed something strange about Po Meng.

Even so, Zhao Fusheng felt that the trip was worthwhile.

She had long thought that Po Meng was weird.

Po Meng had set up a stall outside the Begging Alley for many years. After the Begging Alley became haunted, the ghost domain of the beggar ghosts was limited to Po Meng’s stall;

When the ghost carriage was traveling at night, she was invited to board the ghost carriage. Po Meng witnessed it with her own eyes, but she did not become a victim of the ghost carriage.

……

All these situations show that Meng Po is extraordinary. Zhao Fusheng had doubts about her before, but after testing, he confirmed that Meng Po was a human and not a ghost.

Today, Kuai Manzhou accidentally discovered that there was a strange bloody light on Po Meng's body, and this kind of bloody light was so fierce that even Kuai Manzhou looked a little afraid.

The little girl is no ordinary ghost controller.

She alone carried at least two disaster-level ghosts on her shoulders.

Mrs. Zhuang Si and the villagers of Kuai Liang Village led by Uncle Kuai Liu and others, her strength is extraordinary, but at this time, she actually said that Po Meng was very fierce and she did not want to touch her...

"Okay, if you don't want to touch her, don't touch her in the future."

A strange color flashed in Zhao Fusheng's eyes, and he comforted Kuai Manzhou. In his heart, he was thinking about how to find out the details of Po Meng and find out the source of the blood on her body.

——The safest way to investigate the situation is to recruit her into the Demon Suppression Division.
